Sherris Medical Microbiology begins with a section on infection in general, including chapters on infection control, the global spread of infections, and immune system reactions. Additional sections are devoted to viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, with detailed chapters provided for specific infections--influenza, measles, staph, strep, and many more. Chapters include information on clinical aspects, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

Chapters include images, charts, and tables, any of which can be enlarged for printing, or use in a PowerPoint (TM) presentation.
